[Image alt text: The Endangerment Finding: What's at Stake in the Courts and How to Take Action] < [link removed] > The Endangerment Finding: What's at Stake in the Courts and How to Take Action

September 16, 2026, 12pm

Online

Earlier this year, the EPA repealed the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which determined under the Clean Air Act that greenhouse gases threaten public health and wellbeing. For more than 15 years, it has allowed the EPA to set standards to reduce pollution across industries—providing the stable policy environment that businesses depend on to plan and invest in key industries such as energy, manufacturing, technology, and transportation. Organizations, states, and localities are challenging the repeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Ceres is working with pro bono counsel at Foley Hoag on an amicus brief supporting the challenge, focused on the regulatory certainty and predictability the finding provides for business planning. Legal experts and business leaders will share insights on the D.C. Circuit case and how leading businesses and investors can help uphold the EPA’s ability to protect the U.S. economy and public from the risks that climate
pollution poses to human health and economic competitiveness.

September 17, 2026, 1-2pm

Online

The conflict in Iran has sent oil prices surging, supply chains scrambling, and strategic planners back to the drawing board. But it has also illuminated something deeper: the mounting strategic and economic cost of America's reliance on fossil fuels and a new opening for change. Join Ceres for a candid conversation with national security veterans, clean energy leaders, and institutional investors on what this moment reveals and what it demands. From Pentagon energy resilience doctrine to corporate clean energy procurement and capital allocation, we'll explore why a diversified U.S. energy base isn't just an environmental imperative but also a security and financial one.

This workshop will provide clarity to companies and their investors on the business case for investing in resilient agriculture. Request an Invitation. < [link removed] >
